Introducing our Limnanthes douglasii poached egg plant seeds: easy to grow but unlike anything else you see in a typical British garden. These unique, hardy annual flowers get their common name from their distinctive flowers, which resemble sunny-side-up eggs, with bright yellow centres surrounded by pristine white petals.

The poached egg plant is not just a pretty face in the garden; it's a powerful attractor of beneficial insects. Bees and butterflies find it irresistible, making it an excellent choice for eco-friendly gardeners. This low-growing plant forms neat mounds of feathery foliage, reaching about 15cm/6" in height, and spreads to create a beautiful carpet of blooms from late spring through summer.

Limnanthes douglasii is easy to grow, thriving in sunny and partially shaded areas. It's perfect for filling gaps in flower beds and borders, creating colourful ground cover, or brightening up the edges of paths and walkways. It will often self-seed, providing you with years of cheerful blooms with minimal effort.

FAQs

Get to know even more about our Poached Egg Plants? We answer your questions here.

When Do Poached Egg Plants Flower?

Poached egg plants (Limnanthes douglasii) typically flower from late spring to early summer. For continuous blooms, sow seeds in early spring or autumn, as they do well in cooler conditions.

Do Poached Egg Plants Self-Seed?

Yes! If you’re looking for a self-seeding flower, poached egg plants are up to the job. Once established, they will drop seeds after flowering. If you’d prefer that they don’t, consider deadheading them instead: cutting the flower heads from their stems once they start to fade.

Is Poached Egg Plant Perennial?

No, poached egg plant is an annual. That being said, it has a tendency to self-seed quite readily, so it can reappear year after year without the need for replanting. This makes it a low-maintenance option for filling garden spaces with bright, cheery blooms every season.
